Do your rankings surprise you?
| crazyarby | Posted on 05/13/10 at 04:51:22 For all of you with long running circuits, do your rankings surprise you? I sometimes take a look and notice I had a midcarder on a real streak and needed to move up the card. I also notice a guy who I thought was a main eventer didn't really win much. I suppose it matters more if you run unbooked, which I do most of the time. Or don't the rankings matter to you at all? |
| Snabbit888 | Posted on 05/13/10 at 05:33:19 Rankings are cosmetic for me. It's cool to see a great win-loss record, but much like in "real" pro-wrestling, winning and losing doesn't necessarily make a main eventer. Someone like Chris Jericho usually has a terrible win-loss record, but he's always top of the card. |
| JoshiQ | Posted on 05/13/10 at 21:47:53 I'll take a look at them if I'm bored or something, but they really have no factor in if I push a guy or not or give a guy a title shot. Of course, I book all of my matches, so that would be the main reason since I already know who I consider "jobbable" and not. |
| jeff the god of biscuits | Posted on 05/14/10 at 08:50:36 I use them only to set the seeds for my annual King of the Ring tournament in my WWE circuit ... other than that, only check them if I am curious. Yeah, sometimes I see someone who needs a push, but its usually someone who has been losing lately and I want to bring them up a bit |
| fwaroc | Posted on 05/22/10 at 05:39:12 Don't use rankings. It gets screwed up anyway if I have to book matches or do any resims. |

I run unbooked, and this Pay Per View (which will be next Sunday) I have Buh Buh Ray Dudley as the #1 ranked oponent to Shawn Michaels WECW title. So in this case, rankings matter to me a lot. |

So in this case, rankings matter to me a lot.I run unbooked as well. But I wish I knew how to properly weigh the rankings. If the #20 ranked wrestler defeats the #5 ranked wrestler, then it should be worth more than vice-versa |
| psz | Posted on 05/25/10 at 03:19:10 A loooooooooooong time ago I ran across an Excel app that would do that. Higher ranked teams were worth more than lower ranked teams when it came to wins/losses (It was originally for basketball, but being in Excel, it was easilly mod-able) This was circa 2001, so I have NO idea where to find it now :-/ |
| LillaThrilla | Posted on 05/25/10 at 03:30:59 I often look to the rankings for TV Title shots. Find the top-ranked person who isn't otherwise involved in an angle and give them the shot, often unbooked. |

I have it and it helps out a lot with my NWL league on the 3:16 boards. |
| Drunken Fool | Posted on 05/26/10 at 20:33:49 I don't use the default ratings when I choose my contenders, I just use the +/- point system from the Weight Class Wizard plugin to decide who my contenders will be |
